Reason being people seem to dislike you passive aggressive attitude, self-pity wallowing, and needless bumping. I have no problem with you- I couldn't care less frankly, but it can bother other people. Like I said, I have no dog in this fight, but maybe it'll help you see why people shoot down your requests. And generally speaking? Most of the same 5 guys end up doing requests- Asgarath, DT, Milamber, occasionally Circa, and Roxoon. Can you blame them for not taking requests, really? That's unfair to them and to everyone else. That's probably why they would rather spend time helping people develop their skills instead of ending up as everyone's 3D-modeling-you know whats. Teach a man to fish for life, he wlll never go hungry. Fish for a man one time? He becomes reliant on you to feed him. Maybe we're doing something a little bit more complex than fishing, but still the principle applies. Do these guys mind taking one or two requests? Obviously no, they do not. But if one person gets a request done, everyone will assume theirs will get done too. That'd be like Adrian Peterson giving away a pair of shoes to a fan. Everyone will wonder "why does that guy get a pair of AP's shoes and I don't?" That's why most don't take requests- that or they don't have time. I am not- repeat, NOT- trying to bash you here. What I'm trg to do is simply give you some perspective that survey says you needed to hear. Good luck.
